happy december!

well...december is in full swing!! Christmas decorations are everywhere!! where i live they have a hardware store and they set up a bunch of trees w/ different themes and they are decorated so beautifully. one is western w/ the cowboy boots, ocean w/ hibiscus flowers, dolphins and leis and they even have a jack daniels one. really nice. they have more, but i can't remember them all. snow is on the ground and the weather has dipped to a bone-chilling 2 degress w/ a wind chill factor of -12 degress. too too cold. i know i sound like the weather channel but i'm kinda obsessed w/ it. can watch it for hours. sad...i know. sometimes there really isn't anything better on. or...i'll have the weather channel on but the tv muted and just have my stereo on. ok...why am i admitting this? anyway...is everyone ready for the upcoming holidays. whether you observe Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, the holidays are so stressful. shopping in the dead of winter feeling like you want to die 'cause you have a cold and then having to go home, decorate the house, wrap the presents and cook for your giant family who mostly get into a big fight and are ungrateful. thank God my family is small...no fights. so...have a nice december and stay stressless. ciao!!
